From Tim Greiving’s podcast (forum post):
There is a lot of music. And from my sources on the inside, there are moments in the film where that old Spielberg-Williams magic is absolutely back.”
From Empire Magazine’s Disclosure Day preview (forum post):
Steven Spielberg
It’s late February, and Spielberg is on Disclosure Day’s home stretch. “John Williams did his 30th score for me, which we celebrated a couple of days ago,” he begins. “It was bittersweet to say goodbye to the orchestra because we did many sessions, but Johnny provided such a beautiful score.”
Kristie Macosko Krieger (Producer)
“It’s John Williams at the top of his game, exciting and poignant,” says Krieger. “It’s thrilling to be able to sit in a room and watch John and Steven’s collaborations. I get to watch one of the greatest gifts to modern American cinema that these two men are still giving us. It’s amazing.”
Josh O’Connor and Emily Blunt
The cast are mostly in the dark about what Williams is conjuring up — “All I know is, Steven sent me a video of John Williams and the orchestra in the recording studio and I cried,” says O’Connor — but are keeping everything crossed for a Williams theme inspired by their own character. “Oh, my God, can you imagine?” laughs Blunt. “If I [get one], I will be playing it on repeat.”
RECORDING SESSIONS
Started late October 2025 in Los Angeles, as confirmed by Mark Graham, head of music preparation at JoAnn Kane Music Service, and continued until January 2026.
According to unconfirmed reports, a 6-hour session took place in October, “mostly slower music,” and a second session in mid/late November focused on the “faster action sequence type music.”
STEVEN SPIELBERG on ‘The Big Picture’ podcast (forum post)
“I have a very strong, sneaking suspicion that we are not alone here on Earth right now and I made a movie about that.” (…) “I think our movie does take into consideration, without giving too much away, the social dislocation that could occur, theologically, if it would be announced that there’s evidence — not only evidence, interaction that’s been going on for decades that we are just now finding out about. It’s gonna cause a disruption in a lot of belief systems, but I don’t think it is a lethal disruption at all.”
